Fourth Of July Recipe: Nana's Peach Ice Cream

This is a repost from 2013, but it's a classic family recipe I wanted to share again!

When I was a little girl there was a couple of things you could ALWAYS count on eating at Nana's house in the Summer: homemade tea cakes, rice krispy treats, and peach ice cream! Nana loves peach ice cream and she always had some made and ready. I never realized how much it symbolized Summer to me until I made some this weekend for her birthday. As soon as I tasted it I felt like I was back at her house and it was 1990s all over again! :-)

Ingredients:6-8 sliced, peeled peaches (I cheated this time because they aren't really in season yet and used thawed frozen peaches)1 cup of sugar4 cups half and half1 small box of instant vanilla pudding1 can evaporated milk1 can sweetened condensed milk

Slice and peel peaches, mix with sugar. Stir and let sit for about an hour.

After an hour, place the peaches and sugar in a food processor (do not use a blender, it will not work as well) and puree until it is a chunky puree. We like to have chunks of peaches in our ice cream so I do not puree all the way.
